Some important notes:

The session will be three full days, starting Wednesday, July 27th in the morning, and ending Friday, July 29st, in the afternoon.

There will be NO In-Office event. Instead, we are offering a Commuter option for the Hackathon Offsite. Commuters will attend Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and will have lunch provided, but will not receive a hotel room.

Zocdoc Hackathon FAQs

What is a Hackathon?

https://www.zocdoc.com/about/blog/tech/run-successful-hackathon/

“To summarize, Hackathons at Zocdoc are run with the goal of innovation as well as camaraderie. Hackathons provide the opportunity to work on new technologies and tools outside of an engineer’s day-to-day responsibilities. As a bonus to attending a fun event, Zocdoc’ers get exposure and mingle with other teams they don’t normally work with on a day-to-day basis. Our engineering organization is constantly growing so it’s hard to get to know everybody, but Hackathon sure does help close that gap.”

What will I work on if I'm an intern?

• Senior engineers will mentor interns on a specific project, so no need to think about one before you get here.

Does it cost anything?

• No! (WATTTT)

Do I have to go?

No, but we highly encourage you to go because the majority of engineers will be at the Hackathon.

What should I bring?

• Clothes
• Swimwear (there is a pool)
• Toiletries
• Favorite board games (but Zocdoc has a lot)
• Athletic clothes/shoes
